<h2>WHY THE TURKEY GOBBLES</h2>
<p class="subtitle">Cherokee</p>
<p><span class="dropcap">I</span>n the old days, Grouse had a good voice and
Turkey had none. Therefore Turkey asked
Grouse to teach him. But Grouse wanted pay,
so Turkey promised to give him some feathers for a
collar. That is how the Grouse got his collar of turkey
feathers.</p>
<p>So the Grouse began to teach Turkey. At last Grouse
said, “Now you must try your voice. You must
halloo.”</p>
<p>Turkey said, “Yes.”</p>
<p>Grouse said, “I’ll stand on this hollow log, and
when I tap on it, you must halloo as loudly as you can.”</p>
<p>So Grouse climbed upon a log, ready to tap on it,
but when he did so, Turkey became so excited that
when he opened his mouth, he only said, “<i>Gobble, gobble,
gobble!</i>”</p>
<p>That is why the Turkey gobbles whenever he hears a
noise.</p>
